Diamond in the ruff







At the end of last summer we were on our way to Wal-Mart the same route we always use. As we came upon a fruit stand that was having a "box" yard sale. From the split second looks of it, I didn't see much of interest but something pulled at me. All of a sudden I went right instead of left and there we were.










As I was looking in the boxes I found a cute frame for 50 cents. Then before me was the glint of crystal. I picked this up and waited for the usual out of my budget price range. It said $15.00!





When the young woman cashed me out she said "$6.50." I said (after recovering my ability to speak), "Are you sure?" She replied, "Yes, I'm sure, I just wanta get rid of this stuff before fall."










The ulitmate acknowledgement that I have found a gift from heaven is my boyfriend's rolling eyes as he pops the trunk! All I did to it was clean it and secure some of the crystals. Later, I plan to convert it to updated electrical wiring.
